At a glance
Adenosine is an anti-arrhythmic medicine used to treat Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT). It restores normal sinus rhythm by blocking abnormal electrical signals in the heart . It is given as a rapid IV bolus (over 1-2 seconds) and is used only in hospitals under medical supervision . In Bangladesh, it is available as Adecard (Popular Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) 6 mg/2 ml injection .
Indications
Used for the treatment of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), including that associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome) . Adenosine does not convert atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, or ventricular tachycardia to normal sinus rhythm .
Dosage
Adult Dose: Pregnancy; heart transplant patients; patients on dipyridamole (lower initial dose of adenosine 0.5-1 mg); atrial fibrillation or flutter with accessory pathway (conduction along anomalous pathway may increase). Lactation: Potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants; decision to interrupt nursing after administration of adenosine or not should take into account importance of drug to mother. Renal Dose: Adenosine acts rapidly to slow down conduction through the AV node via the A1 receptors. It also mediates peripheral and coronary vasodilatation by stimulating the A2 receptors. Extremely short plasma half-life (<10 sec) permits dosage titration during IV use every 1-2 min and causes no concern of cumulative effect through repeated dosing.
